a reporter accuses over fifty countries of assisting the u.s. and secretly detaining interrogating and torturing terrorist suspects abroad. iran's president on an historic visit to cairo western friendly egypt looking ready to perhaps open a new phase of relations with tara. and one of the german chancellor's main election opponents says she's been just too hard on one of europe's most financially ravaged countries. find out why greece could be the key battleground states in this year's general election.

well why news twenty four hours a day this is r t live from moscow with me rule re sushi welcome to the program as many as fifty four countries took part in the cia's secret detention and prisoner rendition program and the claim was made in a report from a new york based ngo which claims that foreign governments aided the u.s. in making sure that it tara geishas were out of the reach of the law more in this investigation now from a guy in a can. this is a very comprehensive report prepared by the open society foundations not only do they detail torture techniques that were used at cia secret prisons overseas to so-called black sites but also give a list of countries that one way or another protists appétit in cia secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations including by hosting cia prisons

on their territories detaining interrogating torturing going to be using it in vigils assisting in a tour in the capture and transport of detainees and so on so the list includes countries like afghanistan and australia again mark to boot a huge of georgia turkey syria the united arab emirates the united kingdom's yemen italy and even iran and just in case you're wondering what iran is doing on the list here's what the report says a yemeni national hussein solemn mohammad on the fed he was captured by iranian authorities in tehran sometime after nine eleven two thousand and one and once was handed over to afghan authorities as part of a prisoner exchange and was held in cia detention in afghanistan so a list of fifty four countries there while president bush acknowledged that the cia had secretly detained about one hundred prisoners and this report alleges there were more the u.s. government has only identified sixteen quote unquote high value detainees italy is

the only country where a court has criminally has convicted officials for their involvement in extraordinary rendition operations ten of these the only country to issue an apology to and to agree to an extraordinary rendition victims more here are our who was rendered to and tortured in syria and only three countries in addition to canada and sweden australia and the united kingdom have issued compensation to extraordinary rendition victims this report is ripe with human rights abuses and it's clear that high ranking bush administration officials bear responsibility for authorizing human rights violations and yet no one was prosecuted because the u.s. government has classified everything related to its torture practices any accusation would be dismissed on state secrets grounds. so plenty of countries are implicated in allegedly assisting the u.s. in the kidnapping and torture of terror suspects a former private investigator douglas valentine believes that america is purposely exaggerating the threat of terrorism in order to impose its military power around

the world the war on terror itself is is an overstatement vast overstatement of the dangers that exist in the it's been proven afghanistan that we simply created more enemies in iraq we've created more enemies the war on terror is a war at war killing torturing and detaining people is not a way to break. its resolve problems the way to resolve problems is through people trying to understand each other through reach accommodations to do things that will magically except this situation that exists right now is that the united states does the military overhand that it's not willing to give that up but having built three up for him to kind of force this will all rule the world and the war on terror is simply a simple pretext for doing what it illustrates is that the government has. since nine eleven more capable propagandizing the american people by exaggerating the

threats that exist in order to perpetuate which probably is a state of emergency that really doesn't exist in which the government's able to portray the united states the greatest military power that ever existed on the planet earth and some of the person that's been bully. the truth is exactly the opposite. this is r.t. and the visit of the iranian leader to egypt for the first and more than three decades has been seen as a sign that possibly the two middle east heavyweights are moving closer a president who is under pressure from western states over his nation's nuclear program is attending a muslim summit to discuss security issues with egypt's mohamed morsi of the two nations suffer the relations after iran's islamic revolution of nine hundred seventy nine and they further deteriorated after egypt's peace treaty with israel a more sees us a back to rise to power out of egypt's uprising is seen as

a major hurdle to better ties with tehran which is strongly opposed to the current revolt in syria but some analysts believe keeping the door open to the islamic republic shows cairo is pursuing a more independent foreign policy than that of morsi was ousted previous us earlier journalist and your client spoke to my colleague bill dodd said that iran needs all the friends it can get and most of them drowned in the arab world has now been serious serious been a very little ally of iran all these years the reason why the pro israel lobby why the americans why the saudis etc so keen to talk sad now there's no such moment the syrian government is about where it all going around would be even more isolated than east today and you need a very dangerous position so that makes sense for iran to be trying to build bridges with cairo all of their financial motives behind this meeting where we've got to believe the economy isn't bearing in mind the situation there in iran with all those sanctions appearing to have a quite an impact on the iranian economy do you do they both need each other i

think they do and i think the point of view i think as we see hearty people are going to rest in egypt but people are very unhappy with how things are going to get seen carrying on the move are actually people are on the run the wrong way that she can say to these people look i'm not just a us puppet i'm going to be different here so i think from his point he could get popularity at home by taking a more conciliatory line towards iraq and iran. point of view course they've been put in your house i mean the pro israel lobby has been very successful in getting the u.s. and other countries to pass tougher and tougher sanctions on iran he really commie is a really bad state so iran needs all the friends it can get there's no reason for iran to be isolated there's no proof it's developing nuclear weapons it's got a peaceful nuclear energy program which which there's no evidence to the contrary so therefore it's it's wrong which should be totally isolated. it watching r.t. and one of the centerpieces of a german political rivalry ahead of this year's federal election is greece the former finance minister who is challenging angela merkel in her bid for

a third term i think she's just been a bit too harsh on athens arties could all of us following the divisions in the early stages of the campaigns. the main contender to angola merkel in this year's general election the social democrat party's peacetime brooke has said this his vision for how to deal with the greek problem is to give greece a little bit more time and for everybody else around the world to be essentially willing to spend a little bit more money now that includes germany of course this goes up against what has been angola merkel's message all the way which is that it's all by austerity and by a sturdy alone and cutting that deficit not that greece can get itself financially back on its feet now what is interesting is that in the german elections we're seeing the key battleground becoming greece. now one of the reasons that we've seen the s.t. piece to jump on this is because essentially they smell blood he said himself after

the most recent local elections which took place last month that's change was possible this year and in order and one of the reasons he can say that is his party is absolutely killing angle merkel's coalition when it comes to domestic issues if you speak to the german people one thing they will all tell you the vast majority will tell you is that they do support angola merkel's view when it comes to dealing with the euro crisis what we're now seeing is peacetime brooke saying i'm going to challenge angela merkel on her own turf and put forward my own theory about how to deal with greece angle merkel in france to meet with francois hollande and they'll be taking in the france germany game and we will be seeing is those two talking about what they're going to do going into a meeting on thursday where the you'll be looking at where all of the senior partners in europe will be looking to try and decide the european budget for twenty fourteen to twenty twenty now this has been a huge stumbling block for european leaders in the past year we heard from france

warland speaking on tuesday who said that he was ready to try and come to some kind of compromise in the social. francois hollande against the chief cheerleader of a sturdy anglo-american there has been some friction in the past he says all of the major issues that they have are behind them and that they're ready to work together so i expect what we will see is that some kind of solution being put forward by these two how to steer europe towards a definite budget for twenty fourteen to twenty twenty and everybody meets later. date. want to put all of our reporting right no retreat for the syrians fleeing wall are those displaced by the culprits worse their lives to stay in the country rather than take shelter in jordanian refugee camps or explain why in just a short while here and. you feel that sandra can describe not.

investigation into the deaths of patients sort of stuff what hospital alleges the staff were fatally negligent the managers turned a blind eye to full speed because they're focused on cutting costs on his party boycott the stories of people who ended up losing their loved ones. my wife stuff at hospital in september two thousand and eight it was just a disaster is a total chaos when you walk through the door of the world you can smell it people shouting crying no staff available to phone and. the those who was left to reach. were into mournful issues on the floor we've been since breakfast on. the. line a road for you see. medication wasn't given to. the death of john's wife is just one of the many horror stories to match from the now notorious staff at hospital relatives say it was

a lack of compassion on behalf of the staff that stripped many sick people of that dignity so much evil that sandy would describe it will not stand. alone. in the most horrible circumstances. that no human being should have to go through what she went through julie baby's mother died at stuff it in what she calls appalling circumstances but when she played the whistle on the hospital's practice says she was faced with a cover up all the evidence was there that the hospital mid staffs was failing and yet the. never shared with the public and i believe the same as in all the hospitals it's emerged that a string of senior officials failed to take seriously data which showed the hospital significantly higher than average death rates relatives of over a thousand people never got to see them discharged from the hospital patients died needlessly off the suffering

a catalogue of neglect left in their own excrement dehydrated and without painkillers it's the biggest scandal to hit the national health service in recent years but with budgets being slashed and red tape preoccupying hospital manages a person's health secretary is warning that there are little bits of stuff that dotted all across the u.k.'s health system the results of the public inquiry into the hospital's failings are expected to issue a damning verdict on the way the whole of the n.h.s. functions is soul destroying. this a bit of stuff with every ride i've got to make say you know it's got to be made safe tomorrow because people can't continue to suffer but even with the glare of a public inquiry and the media spotlight it hasn't stopped the last month that emerged that a former unfold baby being treated for breathing problems was found with a dummy taped to his mouth to keep him quiet the nurse being investigated for the

incident is the third member of staff at star to be disciplined in the last six months the hospital's chief executive has said we're sorry that despite the progress that has been made there are still some instances of care which fall below that which we want to provide sorry might be too late but the tide of public anger swelling campaigners say it's time for westminster to overhaul britain's beleaguered health service before any more lives i need to list the last party boyko r t stafford. we've also lined up some of the best stories from around the world on our website. this time david cameron says he's made a breakthrough in strengthening the nation. of the british parliament approved a bill that will allow same sex couples to marry. the members of the ruling. voting against it. cold challenge an expedition of russian geography makes the full. breaking dive into

a number of other countries so for that obvious reason because they they can't really step out of line from what the line is from washington from london and from elsewhere so if you were to have destabilization in kuwait and you were to have a western community the international community as it's called committing condemned the ruling family you will have an overthrow of that regime you will have a destabilization of the region which benefits democratic forces but which is very much detrimental to the united states in their agenda for the region the monarchies are looking around and they're seeing a democratization a wave of democratic upsurge in the region and they know that their regimes will not withstand it unless they're able to crack down on these forces and to maintain their strategic position within the imperial system so on the one hand they crack down on the opposition on the other hand they maintain very positive business relations with washington with london with paris and so forth or from kuwait to jordan which is struggling with

a massive influx of syrian refugees say the number could exceed seven hundred thousand at the sierra the jordanian government says it will not be able to accept that many more if in deed the government of president assad does come lapse although some syrians are deciding to take the chances against the bullets and asterix at home rather than suffer the squalor of the camps. for points. they come here to escape the hell of war as many as fifty thousand in the last month alone yet all too often in jordan psaltery camp hope gives way to despair no i don't have nothing when relief to go home why is this happening why isn't anyone here to help us too many people and not enough help the sprawling tent city is the largest camp for syrians fleeing their war ravaged nation but it's ballooned well beyond capacity there are shortages of food blankets medical supplies just about

everything. there are so many of us how can they provide for everyone where cold there is no electricity i have two children and there are no diapers for them i'm forced to back from my friends and family. refugees complain about the quality of water toilets and the harsh desert winter they describe the frustration of spending hours and queues only to find out supplies have run out the dismal conditions have sparked a series of riots in recent months turning refugees against aide workers and one another at the day no one is helping each other if you want to get bread you need a knife by your side to fight for it it's gas chaos that's simply too much for some seventy year old autumn it also obvious says that he would have preferred the death in syria to life in the camps or if i stayed in syria it would have been better for me recruiting they would have killed me yes but it's better than coming here and being humiliated like this i'm

a sick old man why he wants to go through this. despite its shortcomings the camp still offers refuge from the gunfire and airstrikes ravaging syria and more help could be on the way at a recent conference in kuwait the un got more than one point five billion dollars worth of pledges to aid the conflict stricken syrians but there are concerns it may not be enough we don't know how many more will be coming we have we don't know how many more will cross tonight we have no idea how many more there will be by the end of the week here in jordan or in the man on or into a can it's not a situation which is going to be over very soon and therefore yes it is a strain on the countries of course a strain that jordan may not be able to handle much longer. you know the syrian refugees arrived in jordan a country of limited resources at a time when is experiencing its greatest economic challenge ever nonetheless we gave them all we could if the number of refugees keeps growing will struggle to help them this is the reality. but many camp residents have grown weary of waiting

for help unable to live in dignity in neighboring countries some syrians are returning home these families are waiting to get on buses that will take them back well you know i've been here for three days but after all i've seen in this campaign claiming my right to go back to syria is killing there but here we live worse than animals kind of existence. hundreds of thousands of syrians heading to jordan seeking a better life but here at the refugee camp lives are collapsing all over again they fled syria to escape a bloody war only to find themselves fighting a fresh battle just to survive. front of our t.v. serie a refugee camp in jordan. the last militant believed to be behind the deadly attacks on the moscow metro has been killed he was hunted down and start in southern russia the thirty six year old opened fire of the special forces trying to

in another country a different man if the four year old businessman on his way to the egyptian resort of god that lit up a cigarette and literally hit back at a flight attendant who tried to stop him the confrontation spiraled into an all out brawl on board should anybody have known table long pretty much he was demanding something crazy he was forcing himself into a cockpit everyone was trying to hold him back he was yelling let me and forcing his way into the pilot's seat here. here's the catch though the resume normal in russia that would allow airlines to restrain much less to punish unruly customers in fact flight attendants technically are not even allowed to physically subdue anyone having a fit of rage on their plane and that doesn't fight over well with the country's main airline but that used up national could be dealing with departure once our crews on board to be able to restrain such brash injures we need
